April 30th, 2010 | by admin |There are various types of vinyl banner
Digitally printed banners: printed with aqueous (water based), semi-solvent and solvent based inks, which in some printers may be UV-curable to provide better resistance to the weather. Large format inkjet printers are usually used, but very large banners may be produced using computer-controlled jets to spray the ink directly onto the banner material. Some of the faster wide format inkjet printers are capable of printing up to 1,600 square feet (150 m2) per hour. These are manufactured by such companies as KVR-pixojet, Mimaki, Jetta, Xerox, Roland, Kodak, Encad, Colorspan and Hewlett-Packard.
Vinyl lettered banners: produced by applying individual elements cut from self-adhesive vinyl by a computer-driven vinyl cutter.
Screenprinted: produced using screenprinting, in which different colors are laid down one at a time using stencils.
Painted: hand-painted graphics and lettering. These type of banners are uncommon with the advent of modern printing
